  • Meteor Shower//this week

    The Eta Aquarid meteor shower increases activity between May 3 and May 10. On May 6, observers with access to a dark observing site could see up to 60 meteors an hour at the shower's peak.

    If there are fewer amateur astronomers at work Wednesday May 6, blame it on the Eta Aquarid meteor shower. The Eta Aquarids is one of the year's consistently good meteor showers.

    In 2009, the shower is active from April 19 to May 28. Unfortunately, you'll spot only a few meteors each night except for the prime period between May 3 and May 10. During this week, observers with access to a dark observing site could see up to 30 meteors per hour. This number jumps to 60 an hour at the shower's peak the morning of May 6.

    The best conditions occur under dark skies in the tropics and the Southern Hemisphere because that's where the radiant appears highest in the sky. The radiant is the point in the sky where all of a shower's meteors seem to come from. The Eta Aquarid's radiant lies slightly north of the 4th-magnitude star Eta Aquarii. That's how this shower got its name.

    From mid-northern latitudes, the radiant rises during early morning hours but doesn't climb very high. The Moon is a bright waxing gibbous that sets around 4 a.m. local daylight time May 6. Expect to see long meteor trails, some of them accompanied by persistent smoke trails.

    Your best strategy may be to start observing around 3 a.m. that day. Face southeast, and focus on a spot about halfway up from the horizon. Glancing around won't hurt anything.

    Eta Aquarid meteors start as small dust particles cast off by Halley's Comet during its innumerable trips around the Sun. Every May, Earth encounters the comet's debris stream. The particles travel fast — some at nearly 150,000 mph. As they enter our atmosphere, they burn up and create an incandescent column of air we view as the meteor.

  • Swine Flu In USA

    EW YORK  —  Mayor Michael Bloomberg says that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed that students at a New York high school were infected with swine flu.

    New York officials previously had said they were eight "probable" cases, but tests later confirmed that it was indeed swine flu. Bloomberg stressed that the cases were mild and many are recovering.

    The city is awaiting the tests of additional samples to see if more students were infected.

    New York health officials said more than 100 students at the St. Francis Preparatory School, in Queens, recently began suffering a fever, sore throat and aches and pains. Some of their relatives also have been ill.

    Some students recently went to Cancun on a spring break two weeks ago.

    Workers were sanitizing the school as a precaution. But a class reunion featuring cocktails, dinner and dancing for hundreds of alumni from as far back as 1939 went on as scheduled Saturday.

  • CK THIS OUT ... AKA ALIENS

    An Apollo 14 astronaut told a group of UFOlogists Monday that aliens are not a myth and called on the government to disclose its findings, The Washington Times reported.

    "It is now time to put away this embargo of truth about the alien presence," Edgar D. Mitchell, who made the longest moonwalk in history, told those attending a conference in Gaithersburg, Md., set up by the Paradigm Research Group.

    "I call upon our government to open up ... and become a part of this planetary community that is now trying to take our proper role as a spacefaring civilization," the 79-year-old added. "We are being visited."

    Paradigm Research Group founder Stephen Bassett backed Mitchell's theory and demanded that President Obama's administration release all information concerning extraterrestrial beings.

    "If it does not disclose, by the end of May — this is not a threat or anything, you don't threaten the United States government, they're heavily armed ... the PRG has an enormous and substantial network, and quite a bit of documentary evidence connected to this, particularly politically ... and we are going to be extensively putting that out to the media, and we're just going to make it as difficult on them as possible," Bassett told the newspaper.
